Play=Learning
When you see a child chasing butterflies, rolling in the grass, or building their fifth “world’s tallest” block tower, remember: they’re learning. It’s not just play—it’s the foundation for everything they’ll become.
Why Kids Need Nature
At Sunflower Seedlings Preschool, we get to witness the magic of nature-based learning firsthand. We see kids jumping in puddles with pure joy, using sticks and leaves to create “masterpieces,” and asking questions that remind us how amazing the world is.
Creativity in Kids
In today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, it feels like kids rarely get the chance to just be kids anymore. Roaming free, exploring the world, turning sticks into swords—it’s the stuff childhood memories are made of!
Building a Stronger Community
At Sunflower Seedlings Preschool, community is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's sharing discoveries during nature walks, working together on creative projects, or simply supporting each other through everyday challenges, we believe in fostering a sense of belonging and connection. Our preschool is more than just a place to learn—it's a space where children, families, and educators come together to grow.
Free Exploration
At Sunflower Seedlings Preschool, we believe that some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are free to explore, imagine, and play in their own way. Our nature-based approach is all about giving them the time and space for unstructured play and exploration, allowing their curiosity to guide them as they discover the world around them.
Children’s Garden Day 2
This is my first bigger garden project, and I’ll be honest—I know I’m not doing everything perfectly. But that’s okay! Gardening, like life, is all about learning as you go.
Growing Our Children’s Garden
Our garden is quickly becoming the heart of Sunflower Seedlings Preschool—a place where little hands dig, little minds grow, and big imaginations run wild.
